Brief Thread compiling disparate links I have come across regarding recent examples of Special Forces, US intelligence, national security & banks collaborating with/facilitating the drug trade. Most of these come from this excellent compilation of info rhizzone.net/forum/topic/14…

The Pritzker family:
-Deeply involved in the National Crime Syndicate (Networked Italian & Jewish organized crime groups)
-Largest depositor in Castle Bank in the Bahamas, used simultaneously by Richard Nixon, the National Crime Syndicate & the CIA
-Lifelong, ardent Zionists Image

In 2013, JB Pritzker was the Master of Ceremonies at an event organized by Friends of the IDF, an organization which facilitates American capitalist financing for the Israeli Defense Forces as they commit genocide. JB Pritzker was also an AIPAC board member as recently as 2018 Image

Source on the Castle Bank portion of this thread is Gus Russo's Supermob, which is essential reading for anyone interested in the role of organized crime in 20th Century American imperialism imo

In 1962, the World Zionist Organization, which cut deals with the Nazis during WW2 for Israel's benefit, claimed a "New Anti-Semitism" was emerging in "revolutionary" countries. He meant that Jews may not be able to become bourgeois & petit-bourgeois (along with everyone else) Image
Ironically, the same head of the WZO categorically denied that anti-Semitism existed in the USSR in 1961. He was joined by the leader of the French chapter of the WZO, who said: "After carefully studying the situation there, I found no anti-Jewish discrimination." Image

In one of his books, Pete Hegseth lists Russia & China alongside Turkey & Islamism, as "the other side" who advance their "belligerent interests" against the USA with the help of globalist Democrats. The book's name is "American Crusade." Trump 2 is "anti-interventionist" tho Image
Take a guess what Hegseth thinks of Israel in the book Image
This book came out 5 years ago so it's pretty unlikely Trump's aides & potentially even Trump himself were unaware of all of this.

Trump has been a good friend of both Rahm Emanuel & his Hollywood super-agent brother Ari for decades. The latter was also Trump's personal agent for a while, getting Trump his job as host of The Apprentice. Trump donated to Rahm & almost gave Ari a spot in his 1st administration Image
Image
Rahm Emanuel has virtually an identical view of "protectionism" wrt China that Trump does. There's no reason to suspect he'd change much economically, which is the same approach the Biden admin took to the Trade War, cuz the bourgeoisie wants the war lol
Diddy attended Ari Emanuel's wedding in 2022, as did Rahm himself and Elon Musk. This was the peak of the still ongoing Vince McMahon/Brock Lesnar rape scandal in WWE.

Every country is full of pedos. As for killing women/ children, it's awful, but again, not unique for capitalist nations with giant militaries. If you think living in a nation where these things exist precludes you from criticizing them in other countries you are a chauvinist
When ppl say Americans should criticize their own country's cultural & institutional support for patriarchy & the abuse/murder of women & children before they can do the same to other nations, it's because they're often operating under the pretense USA doesn't take the cake
Furthermore, Russia was actually a victim of US imperialism & I would argue still is (with Putin's complicity to some extent, though obviously not as much as the 1990s). USA has never been victimized by Russian imperialism. Re: pedophilia & violence against women this is relevant Image

1 reason I'm a Marxist is because, as someone who found value in reason & science (though those things have evolved in meaning for me over time, as they should) Marx & Engels-& subsequently the other "heads" such as Lenin, Stalin, Mao-created the only "scientific" philosophy imo
It's true that Marxism is in the "Enlightenment tradition", but the thing people forget to point out when they talk about that, is the fact that a major part of that is how intensely Marx & Engels ultimately broke with the Enlightenment by taking it to its logical conclusion
In my opinion, the concept of "negation of the negation", which Marx & Engels did not conceive of but correctly re-defined, is probably the most radical notion in all of philosophy &/or "political science", & I would argue what Marxism is re: Enlightenment liberalism
